Title: Automatic product loader for use with sheet feeders
Inventor: NORDLING NEAL F
IPC: B65H5/02
Filed: 1999-08-20
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: An automatic product loader adapted for loading flat sheet products into a hopper of a friction sheet feeder, upon demand, and includes a frame that adjustably supports a horizontal bed that can readily be elevated and lowered as well as be longitudinally shifted in a forward and rearward direction. The bed supports the upper flight of at least one endless belt. Also supported on the bed on either side of the endless belt run are vertically extending side guide plates. The forward edges of the side guide plates are slotted so as to receive the rear edges of the side guides defining the hopper of the friction sheet feeder so that there will be no edge or shoulder at the transition on which a sheet product might catch and become skewed. Photoeyes are used to control the automatic product loaders drive motor based upon the level of sheet products in the friction feeder's hopper.

Abstract: A fuel vapor management valve or VMV having an electrically operated vent valve for controlling atmospheric bleed flow to a vacuum signal pressure chamber. The pressure in the signal pressure chamber controls the differential pressure acting on opposite sides of a diaphragm which moves a valve member for regulating fuel vapor purge flow from a canister to the engine intake manifold. Vacuum is applied to the signal pressure chamber through restrictive passages in a connector which prevent sonic flow choking. In one embodiment two orifices are spaced fluidically in series. In another embodiment fluidically parallel laminar flow passages are provided in an element comprising a porous filter preferably formed of fibrous material or sintered metal. In another embodiment, the laminar flow element is disposed fluidically in series with a flow restricting orifice.

IPC: H04M3/533
Filed: 1999-11-01
Granted: 2005-02-01
Abstract: A system in which centralized announcement platforms are connected to host switches over dedicated trunks, and remote switches needing announcement services send a signaling message to a host switch requesting a connection to the announcement platform. A connection is then established between the host switch and the remote switch over a regular trunk, and the full connection is completed over a dedicated circuit between the host switch and the announcement platform.      Announcement message ID and other information required by the announcement platform is coded in the available parameter fields of a signaling message. Less total circuits are required and redundancy is provided.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing transactions in a stateless web environment which supports a declarative paradigm
Inventor: ANAND MALA
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1998-10-27
Granted: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A method and system for processing multiple-request transactions in a stateless environment is provided. A cartridge execution engine (228) intercepts browser messages directed to a cartridge. The cartridge execution engine (228) determines whether the browser messages are associated with transactions. If it is determined that browses messages are associated with transactions, then the cartridge execution engine (228) sends transaction control messages to a transaction manager (606). In addition, the cartridge execution engine (228) sends operation messages to the cartridge. The cartridge then performs the operations specified in the operation messages. In response to the transaction control messages from the cartridge execution engine (228), the transaction manager (506) causes the multiple-request transactions to be either committed or rolled back as an atomic unit of work.

Title: Nanoelectrode arrays
Inventor: PEETERS JOHN P
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1998-11-04
Granted: 2004-01-27
Abstract: An array of electrodes (26a, 26b, and 26c) at the atomic or nano scale (nanoelectrodes) is built on a chip (22). The spatial distribution, height, width and electro-chemical composition of the nanoelectrodes is varied, such that protein-specific electronic receptors are built directly on the chip with the nanoelectrodes without the use of an y specific binding agents or molecules. Because of their size, a very large number of different receptors can be built as arrays on a single chip. The chip can be used to detect, characterize and quantify single molecules in solution such as individual proteins, complex protein mixtures, DNA or other molecules.

Abstract: An improved system for providing an individually customized fresh brewed coffee beverage on demand by a customer, in a wide range of variety and strength. Said brewing system for making relatively large quantities of fres h brewed coffee beverages (in particular, customized as to desired variety, body, character and/or strengths), as chosen by multiple individual consumer s just prior to their consumption. Said system is easy to use by the consumer or other individual (e.g., restaurant wait staff) obtaining the customized beverage. Further, maintenance of the equipment requires only a small amount of personal attention by the owner/operator of the equipment. A general obje ct of the present invention is to utilize "delayed dilution" of a concentrated extract to provide a beverage brewing system which immediately (upon custome r selection) provides selective dilution (based on individual consumer's selections) of a fresh-brewed coffee extract after the extract has been allowed to brew and held as an extract before dilution. It is also a general object of the present invention to utilize the undiluted extract to mix and dissolve other beverage compounds to make flavored coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, and the like. "Delayed mixing" and/or "delayed filtering" may also b e utilized.

Title: Method of waste treatment
Inventor: BI ZIAOTAO
IPC: C02F11/13
Filed: 2002-04-11
Granted: 2010-03-23
Abstract: A method of treating an animal waste slurry so as to efficiently extract nutrients, and which can be performed in a zero-discharge system, comprises flocculating the slurry, processing, e.g. filtering, the flocculated slurry to separate liquid from solid material, drying the solid material, processing the liquid to extract ammonium, phosphorous and potassium from the slurry, all within 24 hours, and preferably on average within 12 hours, of production of the waste material by animals. Since the urates of potassium and ammonium in the slurry take a few hours to break down, they remain in crystalline form and therefore a larger portion of the total amount of potassium and ammonium in the slurry can be extracted.
